the Bitcoin treasury company Nakamoto officially announced that it generated approximately $48 million in net proceeds by selling about 600 BTC and related derivative positions, thereby repaying approximately $45 million in outstanding debt to Kraken. This move is expected to reduce annual financing costs by approximately $4 million.Following the transaction, the company signed a new loan term sheet with Kraken for the remaining 165 million USDT, with a principal of 105 million USDT deferred to June 30, 2027, and an annual interest rate that can be reduced to 7.75% upon meeting the Bitwise custodied wallet collateral threshold. Additionally, the company’s board of directors has authorized a share repurchase program of up to $25 million. Currently, the company still holds approximately 4,467 BTC on its balance sheet. Furthermore, according to a notice from Nasdaq, the company has regained compliance with listing requirements.
CryptoQuant’s latest report states that Bitcoin has fallen to a new low of $59,000 in this bear market cycle—only 9% above its realized price of $53,600—and is now approaching the historical bottom range of past bear markets from a valuation perspective.
Odaily News Analysts believe that SpaceX's upcoming IPO could become a new source of short-term pressure for Bitcoin and the crypto market. As the company is reportedly set to open up to 30% of its IPO shares to retail investors, some investors may sell high-risk assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum to free up capital to participate in this high-profile offering.SpaceX plans to issue shares at $135 each, aiming to raise $75 billion, with a valuation of approximately $1.77 trillion. A GSR trading executive noted that crypto assets could become one of the funding sources for some investors looking to raise capital for the IPO.Recently, there have been views suggesting that hot IPOs like SpaceX, and potentially future ones such as OpenAI and Anthropic, could drive capital outflows from the crypto market, putting pressure on Bitcoin and Ethereum prices.However, SpaceX's listing could also conversely boost on-chain trading activity. Currently, platforms like Hyperliquid and Binance already offer SpaceX-related perpetual contracts and tokenized stock products, and trading activity for these assets may increase further with the IPO.
According to CoinDesk, Michael Saylor and Bitcoin advocate Matthew Kratter have engaged in a public debate over whether Strategy’s (MSTR) latest round of Bitcoin purchases has diluted shareholders. The dispute centers on Strategy’s Bitcoin yield, which declined from 13.0% on June 1 to 12.8% on June 8 following the acquisition of 1,550 additional BTC. During the same period, the company’s Bitcoin holdings increased from 843,706 BTC to 845,256 BTC, while the diluted share count rose from 382.756 million to 384.180 million shares. Matthew Kratter contends that this shift indicates dilution in terms of “BTC per share.” Michael Saylor counters that Bitcoin yield is merely a narrow metric measuring “BTC per share” and fails to capture overall shareholder value creation. He notes that this transaction also added approximately $100 million in cash reserves, raising the company’s U.S. dollar reserves to roughly $1 billion—thus delivering net value accretion when viewed through a broader balance-sheet lens. The debate over how to interpret these metrics has sparked discussion among market participants. Some argue the company is “adjusting its metrics to fit its narrative,” while short sellers characterize this as a common corporate practice of “metric switching.”
Zach Pandl, Head of Research at Grayscale, released a research report stating that, based on multiple on-chain valuation metrics, Bitcoin’s current price is below its long-term average, indicating it is undervalued—though not to the same extent as previous cycle lows, such as those following the FTX collapse.
DeFi lending protocol Morpho has announced the completion of a $175 million funding round, led by a16z Crypto, Paradigm, and Ribbit Capital, with participation from Apollo Funds, Circle Ventures, VanEck, and other institutions.The report states that this funding round was priced based on the average price of Morpho tokens over the past month, corresponding to a valuation of approximately $2 billion for the protocol. Morpho allows institutions to customize lending markets and risk parameters on-chain and has already attracted adoption by institutions such as Coinbase, Kraken, Anchorage Digital, and Galaxy Digital.Data shows that Morpho's current Total Value Locked (TVL) is approximately $6.6 billion. The company stated that it will continue to expand its institutional-grade DeFi lending business and strengthen competition with lending protocols like Aave. (Fortune)
Bitcoin briefly fell below $60,000 last week, recording its worst single-week performance since the collapse of the FTX exchange in 2022. In the seven days through Sunday, Bitcoin accumulated a decline of 16%, retreating over 50% from its all-time high of over $126,000 in 2025.Multiple market analysts have warned that the current rebound may be difficult to sustain, and Bitcoin may not have reached the bottom of this cycle yet. Griffin Ardern, co-founder of Primal Fund, stated that the market is still "a considerable distance" from a "true bottom."Data shows that U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded net outflows for 13 consecutive trading days, with total outflows reaching approximately $5.5 billion. Meanwhile, Bitcoin last week fell below the 200-week moving average, widely regarded as a key support level, further weakening market confidence. Paul Howard, a senior executive at crypto trading firm Wincent, described the current market conditions as a "silent bear market," arguing that breaking below the 200-week moving average is a significant confirmation signal that the market has entered a bear phase.Analysts point out that the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict, the reversal of expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, and strong U.S. employment data are driving the market to reassess the rate path. A high-interest-rate environment is unfavorable for the performance of risk assets, including crypto assets. Additionally, some capital is flowing out of the crypto market into artificial intelligence and technology stock sectors.Despite this, the magnitude of the current correction is still smaller than historical bear market cycles. In past bear markets, Bitcoin typically retraced about 80% from its peak, whereas this cycle's decline is approximately 50%. Some traders believe that if the macroeconomic environment continues to deteriorate and companies holding large amounts of Bitcoin face financing pressures, the market still faces further downside risks in the future.

Fortune magazine analyzed that although Bitcoin’s recent decline has weakened MicroStrategy’s (MSTR) stock price, the company’s current market capitalization still trades at a ~31% premium to its underlying net asset value. The analysis suggests this premium stems from the market’s prior endorsement of Michael Saylor’s “Bitcoin appreciation flywheel” model; however, as this model falters, the associated premium faces further compression risk.
Odaily News, CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. stated that Bitcoin's price has retraced approximately 20% over the past month, with two key on-chain indicators showing sustained market sentiment pressure. Among them, Bitcoin's MVRV Z-score has dropped from 0.95 a month ago to 0.32, far below the historical average of 1.71, indicating that the previous valuation premium has largely been digested and the market has entered a range more conducive to long-term accumulation.Meanwhile, Bitcoin's 7-day simple moving average of Net Realized Profit/Loss has been in negative territory for 22 consecutive days, meaning the market has been completing transactions at a loss since May 18. The indicator hit a low of approximately -$1.2 billion on June 6 and has since slightly recovered to around -$1.1 billion. Although market pressure is evident, it remains below the extreme levels of approximately -$2.2 billion seen during the 2022 bear market capitulation phase.Axel Adler Jr. pointed out that currently, a large number of holders are selling Bitcoin below their cost basis, reflecting significant market fear and capitulation sentiment. However, the MVRV Z-score remains above 0, suggesting that the market has not yet entered a deeply undervalued zone, nor has it presented a historically significant value trough.He believes that combining these two indicators, while market sentiment is relatively weak, valuations have clearly cooled down. Going forward, key focus points will be whether the Net Realized Profit/Loss can return above the zero line and whether the MVRV Z-score can maintain a positive value. If the MVRV Z-score falls below 0, or realized losses move closer to the extreme levels of 2022 once again, it could signal the onset of a deeper phase of market capitulation.
Jiang Zhuoer posted on platform X, stating that after selling 32 BTC, Strategy raised $181 million through the sale of common stock to purchase 1,550 BTC (approximately $100 million), with the remaining funds held as cash reserves. This move sustained MicroStrategy's "unshakable faith," as the amount of BTC bought far exceeded the amount sold, aligning with the principle of maximizing benefits. Jiang Zhuoer also stated that the current price is in an upward channel, and he will wait for further price increases before considering selling.Jiang Zhuoer added that as a "BTC maximalist" focused on coin-based holdings, his norm is to hold a full spot position, and therefore he has not opened short positions. The purpose of his swing trading operations is to increase the total number of coins held.
CryptoQuant analyst Crypto Dan noted that Bitcoin’s MVRV is currently at 1.1, approaching the historically significant low-valuation zone that has marked major market bottoms. If the price falls further to the $50,000 level, the MVRV could reach 1.0—the full low-valuation threshold. Historical data shows this level appeared at the bottom of bear markets in 2015, 2019, and 2022, each time serving as the starting point for strong medium- to long-term rebounds.
Jiang Zhuo’er, founder of the Litecoin mining pool B.TOP, posted his views on Strategy’s Bitcoin sales. He believes Strategy will not sell large amounts of Bitcoin—only small amounts to pay interest. Jiang argues that Strategy raises funds by issuing new STRC tokens to purchase additional BTC, while simultaneously selling a tiny amount of its early-acquired, low-cost BTC to generate accounting profits for paying STRC interest. This reflects its “rolling strategy.” However, if Strategy sold absolutely no BTC, investors might suspect it was using new funds to pay old interest. Small-scale sales generate genuine profits and help maintain Strategy’s image of “never selling Bitcoin,” thereby facilitating continued fundraising.
Odaily News, Glassnode co-founder Rafael posted on platform X to analyze the recent trend of Bitcoin prices. He pointed out that Bitcoin is currently trading in the $62,000 range, down nearly 50% from its all-time high, with a 24% decline in the past month. The price has now broken through the upper range of his pricing framework and entered a valuation cluster zone where bottoms have historically formed.Rafael further indicated that the market bottom cannot be confirmed in advance and can only be identified through probabilistic ranges and key price levels. Bitcoin has fallen below the breakeven line for median holders for the first time since December 2022, and is currently within a broader support zone: the median realized price is approximately $64,100, and the 200-week moving average is around $61,700. At this stage, the high-probability bottom range could be between $46,000-$54,000, while the $35,000-$40,000 area below that represents a rare "sell-off tail." Notably, the magnitude of cycle corrections is gradually diminishing: previous cycles saw drops of roughly 85%, 84%, and 77% from the peak, while this cycle has only declined about 50%. This suggests the high-probability bottom is more likely within the upper range, though extreme sell-offs cannot be ruled out.
According to GlobeNewswire, Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin mining company Keel Infrastructure (formerly Bitfarms) announced plans to raise $400 million through the issuance of convertible senior notes. The offering is expected to close around June 9, 2026, subject to market and other closing conditions. Proceeds will be used to pay related capped call transaction costs and for general corporate purposes, including long-term equipment deposits and credit guarantees for data center construction. If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option, a portion of the net proceeds will be allocated to additional capped call transactions, with the remainder used for general corporate purposes.
Odaily Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin miner CleanSpark released its unaudited operational update for May 2026, disclosing a mining output of 671 BTC in May. However, during the same period, it sold 404 BTC from spot holdings and 250 BTC through option exercises. As of May 31, total Bitcoin holdings reached 13,470 BTC. CleanSpark also announced the appointment of a new Senior Vice President of Finance to strengthen financing capabilities for AI data center projects, aiming to transform into an AI and digital infrastructure platform.

Jeff Walton (@PunterJeff) of Strive stated that Strive is raising funds at a rate of $8.1 million per day. If this capital is used to pay dividends, it could support the issuance of $15.5 billion worth of SATA tokens. Jeff Walton indicated that this amount of capital is equivalent to purchasing approximately 175,000 BTC at current prices, which would increase its total BTC holdings to 10 times its current size.

According to on-chain analyst PeckShield (@PeckShieldAlert), Strategy sold 32 BTC (average price: $77,135, totaling approximately $2.5 million—0.0038% of its 843,000-BTC holdings) for capital allocation, and concurrently sold 801,994 common shares, raising roughly $128.3 million. This move symbolically broke its “never sell” principle, triggering market volatility: sUSDat—a staked stablecoin fully backed by digital credit (STRC)—briefly dropped nearly 7% to below $0.93 before rebounding to $0.98.
Odaily Odaily Alexandre Laizet, director of Capital B’s Bitcoin strategy board, stated on X that the company has submitted a new proposal to the board, seeking shareholder approval for a capital raising authorization of up to $122 billion.
